Using a wheelchair, he is a regular participant in the civil service curling league here. "I had curled as a boy in Fort William," he says. 'After I had polio, I tried bowling and that's where I got the idea I might be able to curl | using a wheelchair."' Kirkup follows a regular procedure on curling night. He arrives at the rink early and must get someone to carry his wheelchair out "I have to let it get cool before the game starts so the wheels don't mark the ice and I can get better traction." He uses his crutches to get out onto the ice, sits in his wheelchair, pulls on his rubber boots and is ready for action. He plays lead and puts one wheel of the chair into the hack and locks it Using a broom with all but foot of the handle cut off, he cleans his rock, lines up the chair with his skip's broom and, with a short backswing, delivers the rock He's unable to join in the sweeping after throwing his rocks but because of his ex perience he serves as adviser to the skip, helping him. de- cide what shots to call for. "I would say the hardest part of curling for me is the delivery because I can't slide. It's strictly a matter of get- that it's just a question of weight."

Reduced flights have had their effect on hunting in On- |tario and Quebec, which get fringe migrations from the Prairies, but have been counter- balanced to some extent by |good northern and local water levels that resulted in average lor better than-average nesting | production. FEW SNOW GEESE Snow geese, for reasons that aren't known definitely, failed to raise families this year and the fall shoot in the famed lower St. Lawrence resting grounds has been a virtual flop. Canada geese, by contrast, had a good year.
